Chapter 288 Jia Dongming’s suspicion!
When Lin Minghua heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately reported to him, "Deputy Captain Jia! At around 9 o'clock this evening, the patrol team of the sub-bureau heard several gunshots during their routine patrol. The comrades of the patrol team immediately went to the direction of the gunshots to investigate the situation, and found that the door of this house was open."

"Comrades from the patrol team, when we entered this courtyard, we found that someone was dead, one of whom was a foreigner. Because it involved a foreigner, the patrol team immediately reported the matter to Director Li. When Director Li learned that the case involved a foreigner, he asked us to send someone to notify you to go to the scene."

After hearing what Lin Minghua had said, Jia Dongming first observed the situation in the yard, then looked at the three dead bodies lying on the ground, and asked seriously, "Captain Lin! Have you investigated the identities of the dead?"

When Lin Minghua heard Jia Dongming asking about the deceased's information, he answered seriously, "The deceased's name is Jin Changzheng, and he is the owner of this courtyard. We haven't found out the information about the deceased yet. As for the foreigner, his name is Charles. The national registration information shows that he is from Finland and has been in China for more than two months."

After hearing what Lin Minghua said, Jia Dongming asked Lin Minghua in a serious tone, "Captain Lin! How many people are there in Jin Changzheng's family? Where are his relatives now?"

When Lin Minghua heard Jia Dongming asking about Jin Changzheng's relatives, he immediately reported to Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! We have arranged for someone to find the people from the street office. We will know the specific situation after the people from the street office arrive."

After hearing what Lin Minghua said, Jia Dongming immediately activated his Eagle Eye skill and conducted a carpet search of the courtyard in front of him to see if he could find some valuable clues.

Jia Dongming used his Eagle Eye skill to scan the entire yard as he walked, and soon discovered that there was a very secret basement behind the yard, which was filled with various bottles and jars.

After walking around the yard, Jia Dongming quickly went to the front of the main hall and began to observe the footprints left on the ground.

Seeing the traces left on the ground, Jia Dongming asked Lin Minghua seriously, "Captain Lin! From the time our people discovered that a murder had occurred here, how many people have entered the murder scene?"

After hearing Jia Dongming's question, Lin Minghua pondered for a moment and reported in a serious tone, "Deputy Captain Jia! In addition to me and the forensic doctor, there are two other people in our Criminal Investigation Team who have been to the crime scene: Xiao Jun and Chunming. I need to arrange for someone to go and ask the patrol team."

After hearing Lin Minghua's report, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and began to introduce: "According to the traces left at the scene, in addition to the footprints of the three deceased, there are eleven other footprints at the murder scene. Excluding the five of us, there are only six people left. After the patrol team determines who entered the scene, they can judge the number of murderers, as well as the murderer's height and weight based on the footprints."

Lin Minghua had already heard about Jia Dongming's ability in traceology. When he heard Jia Dongming clearly say that eleven people had entered the scene, Lin Minghua immediately instructed a police officer, "Xiao Jun! Go and ask the patrol team how many comrades had entered the murder scene."

"Captain Lin! Comrades from the street office are here." Just as Lin Minghua was arranging Xiao Jun to find the police officer in charge of patrolling to follow up on the situation, a police officer walked into the yard from outside with comrades from the street office.

When Lin Minghua heard his subordinate's introduction, he immediately greeted him, "Director Guo! Hello! Because the matter is urgent, we have to invite you here so late. Please forgive us."

When Director Guo heard what Lin Minghua said, he replied in a friendly manner: "Captain Lin! Look at what you said. Cooperating with the public security work is the responsibility of our subdistrict office."

After Lin Minghua greeted Director Guo, he turned to introduce Director Guo: "Director Guo! Let me introduce you, this is the deputy commander of our criminal investigation team, Comrade Jia Dongming!"

After Lin Minghua introduced Jia Dongming, he then introduced him to Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! This is the director of the subdistrict office here, Guo Meifang, Director Guo."

After hearing Lin Minghua's introduction, Director Guo was shocked to learn that the young man in front of him was actually the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. He quickly extended his hand to greet Jia Dongming and said, "Captain Jia! I'm glad to meet you!" After hearing Lin Minghua's introduction, Jia Dongming took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted Director Guo enthusiastically, saying, "Director Guo! Hello! The main reason we invited you here this time is to ask you about the family situation of Jin Changzheng, the owner of this courtyard."

When Director Guo heard Jia Dongming's question and thought of Jin Changzheng's specific information, he immediately introduced him to Jia Dongming and others: "Captain Jia! Captain Lin! Jin Changzheng is a remnant of the previous dynasty. He has three brothers in his family, and he is the second oldest."

"This courtyard is his family's ancestral property, but he usually lives in Chongwenmen. This is just another of his ancestral properties. As for his family, there is a wife and two concubines in the courtyard. They gave birth to four daughters and one son. Because the policy does not allow it, he arranged for the two concubines to live in the countryside."

After hearing what Director Guo said, Jia Dongming thought of the bottles and jars he found in the secret room and immediately asked Director Guo, "Director Guo! Do you know the exact location of Jin Changzheng's home in Chongwenmen?"

When Director Guo heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Jia! I know. I can lead you there right now. I heard gunshots earlier. Is there something wrong with Jin Changzheng's family?"

When Jia Dongming heard Director Guo's question, he answered seriously, "Director Guo! To be honest, Jin Changzheng was killed. In addition to him, two other people were killed, one of whom was a foreigner."

"What! Jin Changzheng is dead! And among the people killed with him, there was a foreigner? Captain Jia! Is this true?" When Director Guo heard the news Jia Dongming told him, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he confirmed the news to Jia Dongming with shock.

When Jia Dongming heard Director Guo's question and saw the horrified expression on Director Guo's face, he nodded very affirmatively and replied, "Director Guo! This is absolutely true. Jin Changzheng's body is in the house. In addition to the foreigner, there is another person whose identity we don't know yet. Can you help us check and see if you know this person?"

Director Guo was very surprised to hear Jia Dongming's words and confirmed that Jin Changzheng had been killed. He muttered to himself in confusion, "Jin Changzheng's ancestors were killed by foreigners. He hates foreigners to the core. How could he get together with foreigners?"

Although she was puzzled, Director Guo followed Jia Dongming to the entrance of the main hall, then stood on tiptoe and looked inside. When she saw the three bodies lying inside, she immediately recognized the other one and muttered in confusion, "Isn't that Lai San? How could he be involved with Jin Changzheng?"

When Jia Dongming saw Director Guo recognize the identity of the other body, he immediately asked Director Guo curiously: "Director Guo! Where is this Lai San from? How many people are there in his family? What kind of work does he do?"

When Director Guo heard Jia Dongming asking about Lai San, he quickly introduced him to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Lai San's original name was Lai Youguang, and his family lived in the alley not far ahead. His father was forcibly conscripted by the warlord Sun Dianying because he was engaged in the business of a local official in his early years, and there has been no news since then."

"Now there is only an elderly mother, his wife and two children left at home. According to our understanding, Lai San usually makes a living at the Panjiayuan Flea Market and has no connection with Jin Changzheng at all, so I feel very strange."

When Jia Dongming heard Director Guo mention Panjiayuan, he immediately thought of the bottles and jars in the secret room, which made him feel vaguely that this case might be related to the antique trade.

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming immediately said to Director Guo: "Director Guo! How about you help us invite Lai San's wife over first? We want to find out more about the situation from her. Also, please help us invite Jin Changzheng's wife over as well."

When Director Guo heard Jia Dongming's request, he immediately said to him, "Captain Jia! There is absolutely no problem with this. I will help you go to Lai San's house and call Lai San's wife over to you."
